The correct Answer is:
To find the magnitude of the magnetic vector \( |\vec{B}| \) of an electromagnetic wave given the electric vector \( |\vec{E}| \), we can use the relationship between the electric field and magnetic field in an electromagnetic wave. The relationship is given by: \[ |\vec{B}| = \frac{|\vec{E}|}{c} \] where \( c \) is the speed of light in vacuum, approximately \( 3 \times 10^8 \, \text{m/s} \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the given values:** - Electric field magnitude \( |\vec{E}| = 6 \, \text{V/m} \) - Speed of light \( c = 3 \times 10^8 \, \text{m/s} \) 2. **Use the formula to find the magnetic field:** \[ |\vec{B}| = \frac{|\vec{E}|}{c} \] 3. **Substitute the values into the formula:** \[ |\vec{B}| = \frac{6 \, \text{V/m}}{3 \times 10^8 \, \text{m/s}} \] 4. **Perform the division:** \[ |\vec{B}| = \frac{6}{3 \times 10^8} = \frac{6}{3} \times 10^{-8} = 2 \times 10^{-8} \, \text{T} \] 5. **Conclusion:** The magnitude of the magnetic vector \( |\vec{B}| \) is \( 2 \times 10^{-8} \, \text{T} \). ### Final Answer: The magnitude of the magnetic vector is \( 2 \times 10^{-8} \, \text{T} \). ---
